Restricted substances? No, thank you!

At Eureka, we continuously try to improve the sustainability of our operations across departments, including resource efficiency, biodiversity preservation, climate and carbon footprint reduction, and recycling facilitation. We prioritize minimizing exposure to harmful chemicals for both humans and the environment. Our Restricted Substance List (RSL) encompasses all relevant national legislation, including REACH, and we voluntarily exceed these standards to further our safety and environmental integrity.

In addition to fully eliminating RSL chemicals in our own processes, we actively educate and guide our suppliers to ensure compliance across all tiers. We conduct regular, random tests to monitor adherence. If any RSL chemical is detected, we take immediate, corrective action to mitigate any potential risks. Our policy strictly prohibits any intentional addition of RSL chemicals by Eureka or our first- and second-tier suppliers. Minor, unintentional deviations by third-tier suppliers are tolerated once (if the product is 100% legal), with corrective measures taken as needed. For complete details for our partners, please visit the RSL on our customer page.

Lights down, stars up!

As winter arrives in the northern hemisphere, the nights grow longer and darker. While this season offers opportunities to enjoy starry skies, winter activities, or to spend time indoors with family and friends, it also brings certain safety challenges. To address this, we’ve added reflective elements to our winter collection at Eureka, enhancing visibility and safety in low light environments.

At the same time, it’s essential to consider the impact of outdoor lighting on the environment. In many areas, up to 30% of outdoor lighting is directed upwards, which wastes energy and disrupts the night sky. This excessive lighting can also be harmful to endangered insects, who are often drawn to bright lights.

Here’s how we can make a difference:

  • Use reflective gear, like Eureka’s winter gloves, to improve visibility.
  • Point outdoor lights downward, focusing on necessary areas.
  • Avoid excessive lighting and use only as much as needed.
  • Choose warmer-colored lights, which are less harsh on the eyes and less attractive to insects.

By making small changes in our lighting habits, we can stay safe, protect the night sky, and support a more sustainable environment.

Eureka Winter Gloves

Winter is coming!

October is here and for those of us in the northern hemisphere, the temperature is dropping, and the suns path falls quicker to the horizon. Winter is just around the corner!
Keep your hands warm and protected from mechanical risks with Eureka’s range of cold environment gloves.

Our 15-3 Winter Cut offers cut level D/ANSI A4 cut protection in a highly dexterous form-fitting glove. Cold and wet? Our super comfortable PU Grip Winter Waterproof offers insulation and waterproof lining for moderate winter climates.
Colder still? Our 1310-2 Double Shell Nitrile offers fantastic insulation and grip in a bright orange colour and reflective print for visibility in the longer winter darkness. For the coldest working environments our MF Nordic Winter will keep your hands warm with the glove to mitten conversion.

Using power tools outdoors? Cold temperatures and vibration are not a good match. Cold hands while using vibrating tools can further increase the risk of permanent vibration damage. Keep your hands warm and protected using our winter versions of Impact Vibration and Vibration Flexi.

Check out the rest of our line-up to find the perfect glove for you.

Having Trouble Decyphering Model Names?

Understanding what looks like a random string of letters and numbers may be confusing but this is the nomenclature of Eureka since the very beginning.

With the introduction of a new property identifier in the naming structure (Coating level), lets run through exactly how our model names are structured so you can be equipped with the ability to easily identify the properties that most important to you at first glance!

Glove Knitting Gauge

  • 18 gauge – Ultra light
  • 15 gauge – Light
  • 13 gauge – Medium
  • 10 gauge – Heavy
  • Double Number (1310) – Double lined model using 13 gauge and 10 gauge

Cut Level Indication

  • This number represents a general indication for the cut level of the glove. The logic is derived from an old standard where 1 indicates very low or no cut protection and 5+ indicates very high cut protection

Product Family/Category

  • This indicates what glove category or key function the glove has. Cool, SuperCool, Heat, Puncture etc.

Coating Material

  • NI – Nitrile
  • SC – SupraCoat – PU/nitrile composite
  • AF/FR – Flame and arc resistant chloroprene composite

Coating Level

  1. Standard single coated glove. Models with this coating do not carry the coating level number
  2. Double-coated – up to fingertips
  3. Double-coated – up to knuckles
  4. Double-coated – up to wrist

For Arc Flash models

  • The number indicated at the end of the model name after the hyphen (-) e.g. 13-4 Heat AF-17 indicates the calorie rating of the glove
